He was able to retain the occurrence of terror attacks in punjab. They were under threat, the south was under threat. So he was able to rest hundreds and hundreds in the last year or so.

It is likely to prove difficult to find candidates for a job with serious risk the earthquakes and its chemical weapons watchdog is concerned by reports that i. S. I. L. Is using chemical weapons in iraq. Last week i. S. I. L. Was said to use chemical weapons. The Iraqi Government is being asked for more information. U. S. Officials told the wall street journal that i. S. I. L. Is planning to use mustard gas. The u. S. Will receive the number of intelligence. Jamie mcintyre joins us from the bent gone. Drones which at the pentagon are known as rpvs, remotely piloted vehicles are the weapon of joys for u. S. Around the world. They release eskimo positions in syria. What they dont routinely say is in the cockpit videos, rarely is anyone in the cockpit. The u. S. Uses a lot of drones in syria u because they have active air defenses. The drones dont just attack it, they have a spy mission, doing intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, where they loiter over the battlefield for a long period of time and get a picture of what is happening on the ground. When n. A. T. O. s Top Commander visited earlier this year. The competition is fierce. Fierce that people have a command for unblinking eyes in the sky. I. S. R is always short. Yes, i could use more i. S. R. I understand the calculus by which it has been apportioned at the way its been apportioned. The airport runs most of the drones for the United States. It can field 60 to 65 flights. The pentagon would like to increase that by a third over four years, so the airports would do 60 flight a day. There are 10 to 20 drones flown by the army, 10 for special operations, and another 10 that is unnamed surveillance planes from contractors. That requires the u. S. To build drones, training drone pilots. They are a bargain compared to manned flights. Take the m 9 raper, 40 million, the s 35 stealth fighter, 134 million. It prompted the Navy Secretary to say that this will be the new normal. The Navy Secretary said there was push back on that from the air force who sees a future for manned planes as well. Thats quite a statement. Jamie mcintyre for us at the pentagon, thank you. North Western University suffered a major defeat off the field. The wildcats trying to become first to unionize the National Relations boardeneded their efforts. Diane eastabrook is live in chicago. What does this mean for wildcats . Its really interesting. What the board did was dismiss a petition to organise, but didnt say whether the student athletes are employees. That could open the door to another unionizing effort down the road northwest Football Players said joining the College Athletes Players Association would give them more Bargaining Power over scholarships and benefits. But they said doing so would not promote stability. Response was swift. The president said this was not a loss, but it is a loss of time, delaying players securing the leverage they need to protect themselves from traumatic breakin injuries, sports injuries, other gaps and protections. Kain coulter who let the fight tweeted northwestern said it was pleased with the decision, stating the players petitioned for Union Representation inn of last year in january of last year, but the union argued that they were not employees, but could into the organise. A regional nnrb said they were employees, and gave the go ahead for an election in spring. Players cast ballots, the votes from locked away for a review. Although the application was denied, is it did not determine whether the scholarship athletes were employees. It was said that a large group may have better luck organising. From an ecological standpoint it would be more like all Football Players in a conference, or all Football Players in division one. Theres a lot of legal reasons why some of that could get messy. Some have labour laws getting in the way of that. Players have scored a victory by shining a light on rigid n. C. A. A. Rules. In a statement the association said even if there isnt another organising effort. He thinks what it might do is give the athletes a seat at the table with the university. Diane eastabrook, many feel its a matter of time. Diane eastabrook for us in chicago. Several former n. F. L. Players want at federal court to throw out a 1 billion settlement. The n. F. L. Are accused of hiding the risk of concussion. The deal covering more than 1,000 players is unfair, excluding players diagnosed with a condition including repeated blows to the head americans pride themselves on being hard working, how much work is too much. Donald trumps policy ultimate. His plan for immigration, and why some worn it ignores the constitution. It wasnt science at all. Theres a lot of lives at stake, a lot of innocent people. How many are still locked up . The integrity of the criminal Justice System is at stake, plain and simple. Faultlines. What do we want . Al jazeera americas hardhitting. Today the will be arrested. Groundbreaking. Theyre firing canisters of gas at us. Emmy awardwinning, investigative series. We have to get out of here. Well, we should tell you this, the number of people affected which an i. R. S. Computer breach is three times higher than reported. 334,000 people had information stolen from its website. The i. R. S. Said in may that the breach was part of a scheme to use stolen identities to claim fraudulent gas refunds. The ir is the is notifying all victims. There was a profile of amazon. Com, coming from eyeopening accounts for work practices they were subjected to. Current employees, mid level managers. C. E. O. Came out denying deplorable treatment of its white collar workforce. For more on the debate, lets bring in ali velshi. Tony, do you love your job . Yes. Do you care about your employer . Have they made you cry, and has any of this matter. The New York Times magazine story was eye opening, remarkable. It made amazon seem like a horrible nasty mean place to work, where, worked endless hours, they didnt care if you were sick, had cancer, family. They sent you emails all hours of the day, if you didnt respond theyd send you texts inviting you. Portalless to criticised another worker to a boss. There has been rebuttals. It comes down to what is the obligation of the company to employees, and some who say this goes back to the industrial revolution, that we give our employees a pay check. As long as we get paid we dont want to hear your griping or care. In Silicon Valley we here about googing and skate boards and they cook you lunch and you have time off to think about ideas. That is where this comes into contention. Is amazon good tore bad. Jeff baso says if the stuff in that article is true line lib i believe anyone working in a company like the one in New York Times would be crazy to stay. I know i would leave such a company. That is interesting, except that amazon is different to that some of these employees know. I cant wait to hear what you do on that. What else is on the programme tonight . Water. We are diving into the water problems, and how one big company is marketing an expensive solution to achieve water security. Taking salt out of the water. You wouldnt think this would be controversial. Tell you about it tonight. Thank you, good to see you, brother. Watch ali velshi on target, here on Al Jazeera America its summer, for many it means vacation. Americans seem to take a lot less time off than they used to, researchers warn its costing american workers. Jennifer london explains. Reporter you may not be surprised to hear that americans are using less Vacation Time than before. You may be one of those people choosing to log long hours at the office, instead of the beech. Theres a cost to unused Vacation Time, and its huge. According to a travel Industry Trade group u. S. Companies owe employees the equivalent to 224 billion. To put it into perspective, thats half of the size of the current federal deficit. Its 24 times the revenue of the n. F. L. Theres more. 52. 4 billion, thats what employees like you are forfeiting each year in other earned benefits. A third of paid Vacation Days disappear. They cant be rolled over because of use it or lose it policies. David bowman is a Human Resources consultant hard at work, looking forward to time off next month. Why do americans leave so much unused Vacation Time on the table . First of all, they are afraid of backstabbing, if i take Vacation Time, what will happen, who will take my job. What will happen. They may be up for promotion or raise, and dont want it to look as though they are lazy, not productive or something. Here is what is harder to calculate. The human toll. Bowman says americas work centric culture created a society of burnt out worker bees. If you dont take time out. You begin to float. You dont have the edge, the creative edge. That engaged edge. They dont call it in h. R. Engaged. They were not interested. Their passion is no longer there. Their effectiveness drops down. By comparison, european employees. Appear to have no qualms to take advantage of any and all time off. Workers in france are given 30 Vacation Days and report using all of them. Same goes for employees in denmark, germany and spain. In europe its mandated, here its not. Company possess say well, its companys say well, its not something we have to do. For the good of the employees family, the company should encourage taking vacation. With a few like this who wouldnt nice. Republican frontrunner donald trump stopped the campaign trail to report for jury duty. Heap was not selected for a trial. Trump joined opponents in iowa. For a tail about his wouldbe president ial agenda, David Shuster has more. Reporter in another sign donald trump is campaigning to win the republican front runner offering policy details on his signature issue, illegal immigration. On meet the press, he said all undocumented immigrants should be deported. They have to go. What if they have no place to go . We work with them. We either have a country or not. Reporter he rolled out construction of a wall along the border much mexico. Making mexico pay for it. Ends to birth right citizenship of children of undocumented immigrants, strengthening of the immigration. I love this country and want to make it great. Its not going to be great if we go the way we go. Reporter he said it would not be easy, deporting all Illegal Immigrants requires finding and removing 11 million people, and deporting children born in the United States because their parents arrived illegally would contravene citizenship codes in the american constitution. This weekend trump raised eyebrows with this. Who do you talk to with military advice . I watch shows. He means the sunday Public Affairs shows which feature former diplomats, retired generals and military analyst. On sunday one show featured carley fiorina, a rival candidate. Its not clear that donald trump is a republican, based on a willingness to run a third bid and some of the positions hes taking. All comes as the challenges pile up in the Democratic Front runner clinton. The state department told a federal judge that more than 300 emails from Hillary Clintons private account were 5 of her emails processed, have been flagged as having classified information. In iowa friday, clinton dismissed the controversy as partisan games. Its not about emails or servers either. Its about politics. Reporter maybe so, but its still hurting her. Some polls indicate a majority of registered democrats view her as dishonest. Amongst democrats nation wide, the latest fox newspoll found clinton ahead of sanders. Last month it was 5919. Its not an agenda i believe can bring people together. When we do that, well win the election easily. And in election campaigns momentum matters. Right now its with Bernie Sanders on the left, and on the right momentum with detailed oriented donald trump next, supporting the iran deal. A former army general speaks out about the controversial letter he signed in favour of the agreement. And getting back to normal. How wateraffected communities are recovering. When Congress Returns to washington next month lawmakers take up the iran nuclear agreement. Critics say it allows iran to develop Nuclear Weapons, if approved by congress, irans Supreme Leader says it would not clear the way for increased u. S. Influence in the country. Translation it is not definite will it will be accepted or rejected here or there. Their intentions was to find a way to infiltrate the islamic republic, we blocked this way and shall block it for good. Irans parliament and Supreme Council are expected to review the deal. William nash is a retired army general, one of dozens of retired military officials, sending out an open letter in support of the iran nuclear deal. I asked general nash why he felt the agreement was the best way to stop iran obtaining a Nuclear Weapon . I think in that case i came to it based on the fact that we have established a time frame, 10 to 15 years where its reasonab reasonably its reasonable to assume that iran cannot make significant progress towards a Nuclear Weapon, it is my hope that in that time, other actions, other behavioural norms by both the United States, our european allies, and iran will lead to subsequent agreements on broader issues, and that we can step back from potential confrontation. I would also tell you, im convinced the inspector regime would work. We now know that the inspection regime in iraq worked because it told us that he did not that saddam did not have Nuclear Weapons, therefore, i think, this time around will be better at detection. Do you slayer share israels and general petraeuss Additional Resources by lifting sanctions will go to fuel proxy battles in the middle east . You know, i dont know. It steams to me, as i seems to me as a look at iran, theres riding expectations on the part of iranian people for a better quality of life. I think the leaders of the country will be hard pressed to divert many resources to not improving the quality of life of their citizens. And as we have seen in cuba. Theres a potential for business. Theres a potential for interchange, and theres a potential for diplomacy to grow over time. Number one, we are Strong Enough and capable enough to deal with circumstances that may be troublesome, and it would be better to pursue a path of peace and development. So i think youll like this. Yesterday we learnt 340 rabbis are urging congress to support the nuclear deal with iran, and one of those rabbis is a retired Navy Rear Admiral harold cover tonne, a cosignatory to this open letter, and he was asked why he supported the deal. Let me read it to you. I know that you support this sentiment. But im going to ask you for a second to put yourself in the shoes of the Israeli Government. Do you understand the reticence. In fact, theres strong disagreement with this agreement has been expressed by the Israeli Government in the voice of the Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. U first of all to the rabbi you cited, i say hoorah. It makes me proud. Im sorry its become in some peoples find a jewish none jewish issue. I look at it as a political military issue. Prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu seems well, hes the same fellow that told us if we attacked iraq, the middle east would be in great shape today. So his wisdom and judgment is not one na i put a lot of countenance into. And i know that there are many people within the Israeli Government and citizens that see this as a positive step forward, and as a Nuclear Power itself, i think israel needs to be very careful, especially the Prime Minister of israel needs to be very careful about pronouncements and interfering with american politics general nash, a pleasure to speak with you. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you an american journalist in gaol in iran for more than a year is expected to find his fate. Jason reseigh an was the Washington Post chief. He denies the charges. He was tried in secret. A final hearing last week. A verdict will be announce the by the end of the week. For the announced bit the end of the week active duty is called in to help firefighters battle firefighters. 200 troops are mobilized from tacoma washington. The fire in that state burnt 5,000 acres, nearly 50 structures destroyed, 1500 evacuated. Kevin is here. The weather has to cooperate. We need a little more the winds have to die down. The winds have to die down. More humidity. And temperatures come down. We are in the middle of wildfire season. No question. This has been an extraordinary wildfire season to begin with. 80 are burning on the western sea board. Ill take you up towards parts of washington, because of the fire we are talking about, the reach fire, here is here on google earth. You can see how big assist, talking about 56,000 acres, an increase of 2 from yesterday. Theres no containment on the fire. Its a big problem. Therell be no rain in the forecast. Temperatures expected to be 89 to 90 as we go to max, which is in a few hours. Humidity now, we are talking about 20 in that area. So its very, very low. What we need to watch is thunder storms pushing through. Not bringing rain, but bringing the lightening that starts the fires, its very, very dangerous. This is what it looks like today. In the area of washington, we are talking air quality that is very bad because of the smoke across the region, that fire and others. Some of the more prime areas that we could watch is down towards parts over to montana as well as out there to parts of oregon. Well watch it through the evening and tomorrow. Forecasts for the rest of the month is bad. Boy, oh, boy. Appreciate it. Thank you for the update. Its been two weeks since 3 million gallons of toxic waste water flooded into the river. E. P. A. Contractors claim they were working on an abandoned mine when it was released. They say the quality is back to normal. Some residents are not sure. Jacob ward is liver in durango live in durango. Its yord to come to this extraordinary to come to this place which two weeks ago saw a vivid surge of this stuff that came o through the anna muss river carrying lead, cadmium, waste products from a mine 60 miles up stream. Now it seems normal. People are fishing, you see rafters and kayakers go buy. The life of the community is the river. People are eager to get back to it. What is extraordinary is to talk to the fishermen and scientists and hear how used to the question of the safety of mines, and the leakage of bad stuff out of those mines, how used to it they have become. Here is how a leading group here described the trouble that they have seen over the years. Hundreds of thousands of fines, and the next still is waiting to happen in a Community Near you. Until we address the problem and provide a mechanism to add capacity to the few that can do the mine cleanups, we have missed the mark. The difficulty is the organization, mining, fishermen and all the stakeholders cant get involved in largescale cleanup of the mine. Theres a few instruments. The problem is that leaves scientists with few ways of addressing the problem beyond occasional testing of it. Ive been speaking with researchers, local Research Institution trying to establish this for a baseline. We are not seeing acute effects, fish dying instantaneously. What we see is a longterm need for monitoring that is unsexy and very expensive. And so in one respect this spill was a good thing. Our Water Quality has been going down because of heavy metal concentrations increasing, yet we havent had a lot of action. I hope this will cat lies actions. But without addressing it, then i would expect the heavy metal levels to go up. If there were another incident like this, there would not be an instantaneous light going off saying it happens again. It requires the visual queue of this stuff coming down the river to understand it, and now the question is doing longterm signs to understand chronic effects. Jacob ward for us in durango colorado. Appreciate it. The white house launched an initiative to battle heroin addiction, it concentrates on treating addicts, rather than arresting them. Heroin use doubled over the past decade. The 13 million plan would increase treatment for users, and help fight heroin trafficking, along with a rise in heroin use, comes an increase in deaths from heroin overdoses, sara hoy has been investigating that part of the story for us. Across the country heroin use is up. In 2013, more than 8,000 die. Many seeking a high laced with a potent ingredient. We went in search of answers, and met a director. The director of the center for Substance Abuse research. Unfortunately many start out being prescribed an opiate for their pain, that they may need. For some reason they take more when they no longer need it and are dependent on a prescription of opiates. At that point, they realise that its cheaper to get heroin, and easier to get heroin. According to the d. E. A. , the heroin is laced with fentan ol. A powerful narcotic. Also to treat severe pain associated with cancer. Fentan ol is being used for two reasons, one is it gets into the brain rapidly, and its so potent that small quant dis are needed to quantities are needed to produce the same high. Many drug dealers push the product as being an intense high. They use fentanyl to improve the potency of their product that they are selling. How much more potent would it be . Its on the order of 20 times more potent than heroin and you can see more of sara hoys reporting tuesday through friday on america tonight, 10 00p. M. Eastern.

Hes devastated because the 3yearold was the on of his girlfriend. Reporter the father of an 11yearold michigan boy appeared in court charged with manslaughter, child abuse and weapons counts.

The boy allegedly climbed into a car with a 3yearold playmate outside his home in suburban detroit and shot the toddler in the face. Wayne county prosecutor said in a statement bryson could face more than 15 years in prison. This will be the critical element, how did he store the gun. Was it locked, hidden, or waving it around showing it to the kids in a place he could access it quickly, and importantly, they could access it quickly. Within days of shooting the prosecutor took the step of announcing a criminal charge against the 11yearold, facing manslaughter in Juvenile Court his attorney said cory bryson is shaken by the charges against his child. The 11yearold son that he loves, he talks to, takes to work with him. Its this kind of family. This is not his makeup. Michigan, like many states wrestled with the question question of how to treat children that kill . 2001 Nathaniel Abraham was the first charged allowing children to be charged as adults. He was 11 when he fired a rifle from a hilltop, striking a stranger, he was convicted as an adult of Second Degree murder. I followed the case. He looked like a lost child. You think of murder, those of us that have been children, think about an 11yearold and how competent they are to stand trial. What they know about their actions, what they do and the result. Reporter an Appeals Court overturned his case, sending him to juvenile detection until the age of 21. This case will start out in Juvenile Court. Im pleasantly surprised its going to the Juvenile Court. That, says the attorneygeneral may not make the experience much different.

As an activist, lawmaker and head of the n. A. A. C. P. President obama called bond a hero, saying he changed america for the better. Lets bring in professor. An al jazeera political contributor. What are you thinking jason . Tell me about julian bond. He is a modern renaissance man, and i mean this is not being clib. If you think of those commercials, the most interesting men in the world. Explain that . I mean, he was an activist. He was involved in politics, he ran the n. A. A. C. P. A guest host on saturday night live. I took his class. He did everything and fought for the american dream. You took his classes, what do you remember, what was he like as a professor. Quite a few years ago, i herm he had an incredible dry wit. Julian bond could crack a joke that went over the classs head and we got it a few days later. He had every anecdote. He as amazing. I had a dinner with him as a freshman in my dorm. He was a loving and giving man, tul of knowledge full of knowledge. What was interesting to me, i met him a couple. Times, in an interview, and i was a little intimidated. There are certain people that want you to believe they are the smartest person in the room. I had the feeling that he was the smartest person in the room. And he was, what was amazing there was a generosity to his genius, and i say that this is a guy that came in, saved the n. A. A. C. P. When they were at a low spot. Rather than keeping the power to himself, he advocated younger leaders coming in, it was not a coincidence that he was followed be an evangelist. He wanted to pass the torch on. In the climate of ferguson, freddie gray in baltimore, black lives matter, that Movement Michael brown what can we learn from julian bond in this day and age . Well its sort of what i was saying before. The idea that there is a way in which you can remain a key part of activism. No matter what age you are at. When johnned was no julian bond was no longer marching he became in politics, and when he did not that he instructed a new generation, when that was something he no longer wanted to do he went back to organizations, raising, instructing a new generation of leaders. Theres multiple ways people can serve. You cant tweet your way to justice and he demonstrates the activism you can have. Does the movement. Im thinking black lives matter. Does it need a single charismatic figure. We can talk about julian bond. Does the Days Movement need a joys that is that strong powerful and charismatic. The interesting thing about it is we dont know. I totally agree with you on that. Yes. Its true. No one knows, the reality is no one knew that julian bond was going to be july yand bond in 1965ing and no one knows who the leaders today will look like 25 years in the future. An exciting and anxious parts about this era of activism is what it will look like in retrospect. We dont know what kind of leaders will be needed or if the perception will have to change. Is it okay to who is the next julian bond. We have the conversation all the time. Is it okay that the next person be that person as an individual, not the next julian bond be who you are, that leader, in that skin . Yes. Its been 12 years, weigh say who is the next jordan. There doesnt need to be another julian bond. There needs to be someone else that recognises the different ways you can be active. It would be great if the next guest was on a television show. It demonstrates an activism that should integrate in every aspect of american life. A look at what it coming up at the top of the hour. John seigenthaler is here.
